Light The Night


Tonight is Light the Night for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. I have brought together a team called Faith, Hope and Love! We have 17 friends and family walking with us!

This is the second year I have participated and created a team for this event. With is comes great satisfaction and excitement as well as hardship and emotions. My mother Brenda Johnson was diagnosed August 27th, 2007 with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The past two years have been quite the journey for our family. Through intense chemotherapy, nights in hospital, check-ups, tests, and hair loss my mother has been an absolute trooper. We are so proud of her.

Tonight we go out with hearts full of love and thankfulness for how far my mother and many others suffering with Cancer have come. I'm going to put a smile on my face, wipe the tears away, and continue to hope for a future where they find a cure.
